Letter: Parking meter process needs improvement
I recently received a parking ticket when I had a valid parking payment. I then had to waste my time to contest it. A parking ticket should not be issued for a space and time that a driver has already paid for. Yet when a driver receives a meter-related citation despite having a valid payment, the burden falls on that person to gather proof and contest it.

Its expansion is likely to please traffic safety advocates and annoy delivery drivers and double-parkers. State of play: The City Council is scheduled to vote on a citywide Smart Street expansion Wednesday. With more than 30 co-sponsors already on board, the measure is widely expected to pass.

First offenders got a warning but second-time citations cost $90 for bus lanes and $250 for bike lanes. City vehicles in the program can also gather photos for meter violations. By the numbers: As of May 2026, the city had issued 16,802 citations for illegal bus or bike lane parking, equaling $2.6 million in fines.
